UK publishes proposal on future partnership in science & innovation with the EU

On 6 September 2017, the UK government published a paper on science and innovation, as part of the series of papers on the Government’s approach to the future partnership with the EU. As the UK leaves the EU, one of the UK's core objectives is to continue to collaborate with European partners on major science, research, and technology initiatives.

Secretary of State David Davis said “this paper sends a clear message to the research and innovation community that we value their work and we feel it is crucial that we maintain collaboration with our European partners after we exit".
